Welcome to Pastor’s Chat! What an exciting day!!!!!! This
is indeed “the day that the LORD has made, and we will rejoice and be glad
and in it”. I believe this verse in Psalm 118:24 is a prophecy of “this
day”, the day that we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! If
there is anything that proves the Bible is true, that Jesus Christ is the Son
of God, that everything that we read in the Bible is believable, and can be
trusted, it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

The resurrection proves Who Jesus is, and that God has
accepted His divine sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary as the complete and final
finished payment for our sins! Praise the LORD!!!! Hallelujah!!!! What a
glorious day! I trust and hope that you are celebrating with us on this day the
resurrection of Jesus Christ!

I would dare to say that the resurrection of Jesus Christ
is the epicenter of the Bible, it is at the epicenter of human history and no doubt
the greatest event ever recorded in human history. Jesus is risen from the
grave! He is alive! I trust you will take the time to read the above passage again,
and if you have time, read all four Gospel accounts of the resurrection today
or some time this week. (Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; and John 20).  These passages should rekindle your excitement
as you rejoice and have a heart full of thankfulness for your relationship with
Jesus.

And if you have never really settled the question of receiving
Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, it is my prayer that you will do that before
this day is over! If you need help in doing this, feel free to call or text me
at 540-598-1351. Or you can email me at pastormike@pmiministries.org. It
would the greatest joy of my life to assist you today in making this decision
for Christ!

Maybe the three greatest, most powerful words in our language
are “He is Risen”. Three words that changed the course of humanity and history!
Yes, my friend, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of our
Christian faith. Paul said this in 1 Corinthians 15:14-19: “And if Christ is
not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and
we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He
raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up--if in fact the dead do not rise. For
if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen,
your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have
fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in
Christ, we are of all men most miserable.”

Everything we believe about God, Jesus, the Bible, and
eternity hinges of the reality and fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most provable facts of human
history. It is not a theory, a myth, or a made-up story!  It is a fact!!!! No one can prove that the
resurrection of Jesus Christ did not happen! And history records that most of
the people who set out to disprove the resurrection actually became followers
of Jesus Christ! It changed their lives as they researched and studied it!

Everything changed when Jesus came out of the tomb alive,
and the promised gift of the Holy Spirit was given! The disciples who were
fearful and denied Jesus before were now willing to die for Him and most of
them did! The Church was born and is alive and well, and is another proof of
the resurrection every Sunday they meet!

For me, the greatest proof is that His resurrection personally
changed and transformed my life on February 21, 1971, as a nineteen-year-old teenager!
He is Risen!!!!! He is alive!!!! Jesus is waiting to come into your heart and
life if you will receive Him! Why not accept Him today!

God bless!
